About Us
Leading the way in transformative group events.
September through June, schools, churches and corporate groups of all kinds are discovering the unique and powerful benefits of Muskoka Woods, including our state-of-the-art Leadership Studio. Retreats encourage active living and camaraderie through unforgettable indoor and outdoor teambuilding activities. Programs are tailored to each group and reinforce our core values: creativity, friendship and confidence. Whether you’re a group of 30 or 600, Muskoka Woods is an ideal choice. Our modern facilities and unrivaled 1,100-acre grounds hold spacious dining halls and comfortable cabins, as well as exciting activities that get you on the water, up in the air, on an athletic field, or up close and personal with nature.
A full-service staff that cares
KEVIN SAWKA, SCHOOLS & GROUPS DIRECTOR
Born and raised in British Columbia, Kevin Sawka came to Muskoka Woods in 2008 after going to college in Texas on a baseball scholarship. Kevin soon joined our leadership staff and was a core team member of our outdoor recreation program in 2011. Since then, Kevin has spent the last 5 years in automotive management, specializing in sales and marketing. Kevin and his wife Rebekah met at Muskoka Woods and are excited to be back living year round in Rosseau.
